Lol @ these two descriptions.

And yes, it could be a nice guilty pleasure, but let's not mention that world around here.

There's something kind of...uncomfortable about them trying to play the one Aoi chick off as sickly enough to need medical recovery yet thrusting her ass in our faces on the previous magazine art.

Then again, this is the same writer that made Wheelchair-chan and her legs were nowhere appearing to be in bad shape. (But oh, maybe it's the future!!!)

Artistic license? Well, I can't really defend that, though thrusting asses in our faces is one of the more harmless things in anime these days. There isn't any say SFSDs thus far. The outfits look fanservicey but not particularly insulting.

The ill girl usually is also an effective generator of pathos, though it requires them to not be an asshole, lest we start applauding due to their suffering. Expect some sad, sad story to pop up, and thus giving them a moe apperance tends to amplify the situation. Not the most creative of applications, though I wouldn't be surprised if this happens and wouldn't mind as long as they don't go "OMG tragic loli, pity and worship her!!!!!"

I think as long as the anime doesn't take itself too seriously it's fine. From what I've seen of A-1 and Yoshino, stay off the melodrama. For the love of god.

He knows what he should be focusing on. Plus, the less they worry about a convoluted plot, the less of a chance Yoshino has to mess it up .

Well this is a fanservice show obviously, but is there any indication that it is something more than just fanservice? Personally a purely fanservice show is pretty worthless. Might as well watch a hentai at that rate.

Depending on how well the characters are written and the general direction the story takes, this could be the best, classiest thing next season.

A lot of hentai series have severe quality issues.
Believe me, I've been there.

I was about to say the same thing. Hentai is for many things, except getting aroused. Usually it's a comedy or horror.

Now, back to Reckoner's point, it might be easy to imagine that people like myself are going to watch the show with their pants unzipped (which is blatantly false, my pants don't have zippers) there can be certain levels of appreciation of appealing material that doesn't involve actually getting off to it. I mean, this is why there are models that aren't porn stars of course.

Still, a series cannot survive on fanservice alone. It's gotta be interesting to some degree, and hopefully not in a insulting manner.

Oh dear.

If you read the thread and look at the translated explanations of the VRO universe, its plot, characters and whatnot, you'll see that it's not a "purely fanservice" show.
